Kung Hei Fat Choy!
Happy New Year!
January 26th is Chinese New Year, and 2009 is the year of the ox. People born under this sign are thought to be stable, fearless, obstinate, hard-working and friendly. In China, celebrations begin on the first of the month and may last for weeks. Chinese New Year parties are colourful events. People wear red clothes, write poems on red paper, and give children gifts of money in red envelopes. Red symbolizes fire, which is meant to burn away bad luck. The Chinese love to serve tea and a variety of traditional delicacies on New Year’s eve, such as spring rolls , Peking duck and noodles. Invite some friends over and try out some these yummy treats for yourself. Many Chinese dishes can also be paired well with Pinot Noir and Gewürtztraminer.
